DELIVERY-BOX.

Application filed November 1, 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN SIEGEL, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Detroit, in the county of WVayne and State ofMichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inDelivery-Boxes, of which the following i s a specification, referencebeing bad therein to the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to boxes such as are used for the packing anddelivery of articles sold in sets in retail stores, such for instance asfurs.

It is the object of the invention to provide a receptacle in which allof the articles belonging to the set are inclosed, while at the sametime they are held in separate compartments, so that one will not becrushed or injured by another. This I have accomplished by theconstruction as hereinaftcr set forth.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view partly broken away of myimproved delivery box; Fig. 2 is a cross section through the cover, trayand supporting ledge; and Fig. 3 is a plan View of one corner of the boxwith the tray and cover removed.

A is a rectangular paper board box, which is provided with a cover Bhaving depending flanges C.

D is a ledge formed within the box and extending around the sidesthereof. This is preferably formed of wooden strips which are glued orotherwise attached to the box sides, as shown in Fig. 3.

E is a tray formed of paper board and Copies of this patent may beobtained for five cents each, by addressing the Specification of LettersPatent.

resting upon the ledge D, preferably so that the upper edges of itsflanges are flush with the top of the box body.

E are loops secured to the tray E, to facilitate the withdrawal of thesame from the box body.

In use a set of articles to be delivered, such for instance as a furmuff and scarf, may be packed in the box by first removing the cover andtray and placing the larger article in the bottom of the box; thenreplacing the tray with the smaller and lighter article therein, andthen placing on the cover. The same construction may be used for variousother articles which are sold in sets, and will be equally useful inprotecting them from injury. The strips D in addition to their functionof form ng a support for the tray constitute reinforcements orstrengthening ribs which add to the strength of the package.

What I claim as my invention is:

A delivery box. comprising a rectangularpaper board body, a ledge formedof wooden strips secured to the inner sides of the body, a paper boa dtray supported on said ledge having its flanges flush with the top ofthe body, and a flanged cover fo said body and tray. said co er holdingsaid tray from vertical movement.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

BENJAMIN SIEGEL.
